in projects probably tomorrow.....Wanted you all to know that I am using that new Lapel Pen that I ordered from Ann the Gran. I took a big chance using the lapel pen for the first time on such a heavy stitch project.........but so far so good. I have not used any spray, just the pen and the sweatshirt has stayed nicely adhered to the stabilizer which is a heavy woven cutaway. The great thing is I didn't have to go outside or in the basement to use the spray and there was no odor...we will see what happens when I go to peel it off around the design.

Those emb library designs are gorgeous but definitely stitch intensive!
What is the Lapel Pen?

I'll go look for a link for it...I got it in an ad from Ann the Gran. It is the same size as a glue stick and at first I wasn't impressed as it didn't appear that the sweatshirt was adhering to the stabilizer, but I waited about 5 min. and then it was grabbed. I do have it pinned around the inside of the hoop because I don't have the sweatshirt hooped just hooped the stabilizer. Now, you know if it holds up to an 80,000 stitch design, it has to be good!! I'm at 31,000 and so far so good....

Thank you. It looks like a great idea.
